Sell Empty Ink Cartridges on eBay: My Experience and Some Tips
By Julie on November 19, 2010There are a number of things you can do with empty printer cartridges.

I was able to make a couple of sales this week on Amazon and eBay. The first was a Vera Bradley purse and coin purse that my daughter no longer wanted. Together they only brought $18, which was a little disappointing but since they were (gently) used I guess it’s better than nothing. The other […]
I loved this guest post at Man vs. Debt about paying off debt by selling on Ebay. The author paid off $15,000 in student loans in nine months by selling stuff she had laying around. I did something similar one year when I financed Christmas by selling on Ebay. A lot is written about staring […]

Check out LastMinute Auction. A list of eBay auctions at a dollar or less with an hour or less to go.
This is definitely not my original idea, but I saw it on the web somewhere and it has worked for me ever since. When I photograph a book to sell on eBay, I lay the book flat on a solid background and take the picture sideways. Then I rotate the picture in my software so […]
